What is the purpose of armature voltage control during the starting of a DC motor?
What is the purpose of armature voltage control during the starting of a DC motor?
- To limit the motor current to a safe value (correct)
- To decrease the back emf during starting
- To increase the motor current for faster starting
- To prevent sparking at the commutator
How does adding a variable resistance in series with the armature circuit affect the motor's operation?
How does adding a variable resistance in series with the armature circuit affect the motor's operation?
- It limits the armature current at a safe value
- It has no effect on the motor's operation
- It decreases the no-load speed
- It increases the speed drop during loading (correct)
What happens if a DC motor is started with full supply voltage across its terminals without any current limiting method?
What happens if a DC motor is started with full supply voltage across its terminals without any current limiting method?
- The motor will not start at all
- A very high current will flow, potentially damaging the motor (correct)
- The motor will start smoothly without any issues
- The back emf will increase, reducing the starting current
